Several vaccines recommended for adults
Courtesy Metro Creative Connection
Newborn babies endure quite a bit in the first few days and months of their lives . Routine immunizations help newborns overcome these obstacles , and as newborns get old they receive vaccines to prevent measles , mumps , rubella , hepatitis , and chicken pox .
A common misconception suggests that vaccines are only for the young . However , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the protection provided by some childhood vaccines can wear off . In addition , some people may be at risk for certain vaccine-preventable diseases due to lifestyle , existing health conditions and age . As a result , it ’ s important for adults to make sure their vaccines are upto-date .
Those who are unsure of their vaccine status should discuss their health history with their doctors . In the meantime , adults should know that the following vaccines are recommended for people of various ages .
Influenza : An annual flu shot is highly recommended . Doctors and health officials indicate that getting the flu vaccine is the single most effective way to prevent seasonal flu or reduce the duration and severity of the illness should it be contracted .
Tdap : This vaccine contains strains of tetanus , diphtheria and pertussis ( whooping cough ). All three are implicated in serious illnesses or death , according to WebMD . Just about every person , young and old , should receive the Tdap vaccine . The CDC says that every adult should get the Tdap vaccine once if they did not receive it as an adolescent . Then a Td booster shot every 10 years is sufficient .
Shingles : People who have been exposed to varicella ( chicken pox ) in their youth are at risk for shingles as they grow older . The CDC says nearly one out of three people in the United States will develop shingles in their lifetime . A shingles vaccine can protect against shingles and complications from the disease . Adults who are 50 and older should get the vaccine , which is administered in two doses .
